good job J84. Now _THATS_ what I'm talkin 'bout!!!!

I saw the last picture of J84's pics and I said the exact same thing to myself - "THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!"

J84, where is that last one from? I have dreams daily of coming across a trail like that, grinning from ear to ear, then ripping it up.

That last one is just inside Beaver Pond Glade at Jay. I was super excited to turn in, look down, and see that endless powder line.

I'm flat out. I've used pretty much every good picture I have taken way too many times.

Let me do some digging, maybe I will find something new.







Here are two pictures I stole from a TR over at TGR:

I went back and looked through a bunch of pictures hoping to find some decent ones that I haven't already posted. Here's what I found:

JimG. and 2knees on Eisenhower at Hunter

Lower Antelope at MRG

bvibert at Sundown

Me at MRG. Nice Form! :blink:

those freakin bumps on Eisenhower look like crap. Typical snowboard induced bumps...

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but that was a seeded course with a fresh topcoat of manmade and they actually skied pretty well. The bumps in the above pic are from the lower section of the course and they were a bit more erratic. This pic gives a better feel on how the upper section was:

thats what I'm talkin about - see those deep trenches? That stuff sux for getting a rhythm going

Not a winter shot, but certainly one of my favorites, with a great view:

Deep troughs are not necessarily snowboarder induced. Again, this was a seeded course. Deep troughs don't impair rhythm, erratically spaced bumps and/or poor technique does.

I have skied natural bumps, before snowboards were invented, with deeper trenches. Those trenches in the pic seem narrow but that's not unusual either. Although I don't think I have ever skied seeded bumps I would think that if it's a busy bump run after a day of usage it would become somewhat "naturalized".

For me, they certainly are harder to ski than low trenches and small bumps.

No. I just wanted to point out that course was not affected by snowboard traffic that I know of. The fact that only snowboards deepen troughs or cause erratically spaced bump is questionable too. Crappy bump skiers can kill a run just as badly.

This was a seeded course and if I recall correctly, the trough angle was indeed pretty sharp. The run skied well though and the topcoat of the somewhat tacky manmade may make it look uglier than it was.
